There was a problem with the crank sensor not working from time to time. Although I thought it was the socket at first, I noticed that there was a lack of contact in the cable coming from the main wiring harness and now the current is completely cut off. How can I solve this? Can you also share the detailed diagram of this cable. I wish you luck.

Hi,

This model wasn't offered in the US until 2006, so I have little information on it. However, I will try to help.

If you are not getting a power signal to the sensor, we need to trace it back to the ECM to determine if power is available there. Because I don't have a wiring schematic, you will need to identify the wire color and try tracing it back to the power source.

Is that something you are able to do?

Let me know.

Joe
